Please, enough with the reality

Is anyone else fed up with all these reality shows on television?

When Survivor and American Idol first came on, it was okay. But now, every network has at least one reality show.

We get to see shows that feature forgotten actors, like Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, trying to resuscitate their careers by allowing us to see into their daily lives.

I guess this an attempt to show us that they too have problems in their lives.

It has gotten to the point where there is a reality show for, pretty much, anything you can think of.

I thought the goal of television shows was to provide us with an escape, a distraction, from reality for a few hours.

Maybe, it just speaks to a lack of creativity. Or, possibly this is just the networks’ way of fulfilling a need.

Are we that interested in that type of reality?

I surely hope not.

As for me, the only reality television shows I need are my football, basketball, and boxing.

At least they are not scripted.

Or, are they?

The Wizard has spoken.
